Fire Toad's Dungeon, 19th floor.
"Bang! Crash!"
As the last creature went down on the 19th floor, Ethan received another notification about his level up.
His current level was 8. He managed to increase two levels after clearing all the floors behind. With his vast mana reserves, it was nothing difficult at all.
The 19th floor was burned and scorched everywhere, a clear proof of how intense the battle must have been.
He managed to collect a lot of old and new skill books using Skill Absorption and monster drops. But, he had no ti to go into details now, because it was finally ti to clear the final 20th floor, the boss floor.
With anticipation and excitent, Ethan opened the door to the boss floor.
At first glance, he was greeted with a giant fire toad nearly 8-10 ters in height. He had to raise his head to see its full form. He was tiny compared to it.
[ Appraisal ]
[ Fire Toad (elite) ]
[ Power Level: 15 ]
It was seven levels higher than him, and on top of that, it was an elite monster as well. It must be the boss of this dungeon for sure. Its giant fiery form was living proof of that.
As soon as Ethan touched the floor, the fire toad sensed him imdiately sohow. There goes his sneak attack plan. Now, he had no choice but to fight it head-on.
Looking at its tough skin, he began to doubt his sword's capability. "A D-Rank sword should be able to pierce it, right? Still, I should have upgraded it for a situation like this. Now, no crying over spilled milk."
The giant toad lunged at him, causing loud rumbles with each long jump. Its jumping left the spot in a scorching ss of rubble.
Ethan took out his sword and activated [Muscle Enhancent] to raise his physical capability by twofold.
Just as the giant toad was on top of him, he used [Inferno Leap] to dodge to the side, causing a loud rumble of smoke at the spot.
Balancing himself, Ethan was about to launch a decisive strike at the giant toad. However, its giant limb ca down upon him swiftly. He didn't have ti to react. Its agility and power were on a different level.
"Bang!"
He was thrown to the side like a ragdoll, using its giant mass of his paws.
"Cough! Cough!" Spewing out fresh blood non-stop, Ethan found it hard to stand up for a mont.
Fortunately, his new skill [Muscle Enhancent] saved him from imdiate organ ruptures.
He didn't expected it to be so powerful even at the solo level.
His [Blaze Guard] was helping him withstand the intense heat the giant toad was emitting.
So, he had a mont to think of a proper plan.
Only then he noticed a large triangular-shaped stone on the ceiling. Its sharp tip was pointing directly at the ground. If he could sohow use it to his advantage, he might stand a chance to defeat the boss.
Ethan imdiately sprang into action, using [Azula Sword Strike] to tick it off a little.
As if right on cue, The giant followed him with a nacing look on its face. It was clearly angry at his provocation.
Realizing the first stage of his plan was a success, Ethan started moving towards the direction where the sharp stone was placed on top.
Using [Inferno Leap], he jumped from the ground, and the giant toad followed him from behind. Observing this, he grinned. Now, only the last stage was left. He gripped his titanium sword tightly and used [Azula Sword Strike] along with [Muscle Enhancent] to break the rock hanging from the ceiling.
"Boom!"
"Rumble!"
The sharp-tipped rock crashed, falling directly on the ground straight at the top of the giant toad. As for Ethan, he had already sidestepped according to his plan earlier. A perfect plan.
He grinned slightly, awaiting the giant toad's demise.
"Croak!"
Followed by a miserable scream, the massive sharp rock fell on top of the giant toad.
It pierced its body from the front.
A wave of fiery ashes spread everywhere, turning the visibility on low.
It should have died by now... However, after waiting for a while as the dust settled, Ethan still didn't receive any notification regarding the confirmation of his kill.
